On a Web server or Hypertext Transfer
Protocol daemon, port 80 is the port that the server "listens to" or expects to receive from a
Web client, assuming that the default was taken when the server was configured or set up. A port
can be specified in the range from 0-65536 on the NCSA server. However, the server administrator
configures the server so that only one port number can be recognized. By default, the port number
for a Web server is 80. Experimental services may sometimes be run at port 8080.
